Bab El Had (Sunday Gate) Square, Rabat

Bab El Had is one of the five gates built within the walls of the Old Rabat. The gate is well preserved and looks very beautiful with fascinating ornaments on it. It has several entries and is also called the “Sunday Gate”. The name comes from the Sunday Market that was near this gate for a long time. Near this gate is the Marche Central (Cenral Market), the best and biggest food and flowers market in Rabat. Within one of the gate’s rooms is a photo exhibition.

Bab El Had is the only gate of the wall that still plays the role of passage, it provides access to the southwestern tip of the Medina.
